ISAIAH 43:16-19 MSG

THIS is WHAT GOD SAYS, THE GOD who builds a road right through the ocean, who carves a path through pounding waves,

THE GOD who summons horses and chariots and armies— they lie down and then can’t get up; they’re snuffed out like so many candles:

“FORGET about what’s happened; DON’T KEEP GOING OVER OLD HISTORY.

ISAIAH 43:16-19 MSG

Be ALERT, be PRESENT.

I’m about to do something BRAND-NEW.

It’s bursting out!

Don’t you SEE it?

There it is!

I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.

We have a supernatural God.

When we do things of our own and try to help God, we end up in the wilderness.

ISAIAH 43:19 NKJV

BEHOLD, I WILL DO a NEW THING, -

NOW it shall spring forth;

Shall you not know it? -

I will even make a road in the wilderness -

And rivers in the desert.

PHILIPPIANS 3:13 EASY

My Christian friends, I do not think that I have reached that place yet.

But this is what I do:

I do not THINK about PAST THINGS that have already happened.

Instead, I try hard to reach the things that are in front of me.

PHILIPPIANS 3:12-13 TPT

I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me his own.

I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus:

Paul's goal in life is to know Jesus Christ.

I FORGET ALL of the PAST as I fasten my heart to the future instead.

We are bless because we have a God future for us.

Living in the Past looks like this

When you lose a memory, you also lose the feeling of it.

As long we we remember, we will remember it and feel the hurt.

PSALMS 119:104-105 TPT

For YOUR TRUTH is the SOURCE of my understanding, not the falsehoods of those who don’t know you, which I despise.

Truth’s shining light guides me in my CHOICES and DECISIONS; the revelation of your Word makes my PATHWAY CLEAR.

Revelation makes our pathway clear.

If we see our path not clear, means we don't really know who our shepherd is.

PROVERBS 6:23 TPT

For truth (Torah, Mitzvah) is a bright beam of light shining into every

area of your life, instructing and correcting you to discover the

WAYS to godly living.

PROVERBS 6:23 NLT

For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life.

God's word will shine like a beam of light.

ROMANS 12:2 EASY

Do not become like the people who belong to this world.

But LET GOD completely CHANGE the WAY that you THINK, -

SO THAT you LIVE DIFFERENTLY.

Then you will understand what God wants you to do.

You will know what is good.

You will know what pleases God.

You will know what is completely right.

We don't belong to this world anymore as God has taken us out.

Spirit man nothing wrong.

Religion try to change your behaviour.

The day we received Jesus, our hearts are changed.

Our behaviour will change when we change the way we think.

Change our thoughts by putting God's word inside.

God's word is the truth.

Put the truth inside our minds.

Sometimes He put certain things in our lives for us to go through to humble us.

He cannot use the proud, the boastful and the arrogant ones.

Without faith, it is impossible to please Him.

The just shall live by faith.

The doing comes later; believe in Him first.

When we live in fear and by natural, it does not please God.

When God said "I will provide for you.", we said "Thank you, Lord".

When we are looking by sight, it does not please God.

Take our the trash from our head and our thoughts.
